The Energy Yield Assessment (EYA) Specialist will be the Technical Lead on all aspects related to assessing the expected energy input and output of projects during the development, pre-construction, and operational phases. Reporting to the Engineering Director, the EYA Specialist will play a critical role in providing input to both preliminary site assessment during the earlier stage development activities, and technical due diligence (TDD) for the acquisition of ready-to-build projects. EYA Specialist activities will expand in the pre-operation and operational phases to lead on performance assessment, provisional, intermediate, and final acceptance certificate (PAC/IAC/FAC). The role will contribute to the formation of an EYA and performance assessment function within Engineering by creating processes and procedures.
What you’ll be doing:
- Provide EYA expertise during early development, acquisition, and operational phases of solar PV and, optionally, onshore wind projects.
- Lead on all EYA-related topics during project acquisition.
- Critically assess third-party EYA reports, ensuring that methodologies, assumptions, and outputs meet internal standards and industry best practices.
- Confirm financial model assumptions and advise on risk and mitigations.
- Liaise with consultants, sellers, lenders, and internal teams to align expectations, clarify technical queries, and ensure transparency and consistency in yield assumptions.
- Hands-on support during earlier development stages.
- Provision of EYA studies and modelling using bankable tools such as PVSyst software.
